energy mix
Combined generation sources
Energy mix refers to the combination of different energy sources a country, region, or organization uses to meet its power needs.
It typically includes fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), nuclear power, and renewables (solar, wind, hydro).
Discussions of energy mix usually concern the balance between these sources: The nation is shifting its energy mix toward renewables.
